Pomegranate grafting time

1. Grafting time

Time is an important factor in success and can determine whether you succeed or not. You can choose spring, which is from March to April. The climate is very suitable at this time and it is in the growth period, which can increase the chance of survival. It just so happens that all things begin to revive and enter the period of budding, and the cut part can recover faster, ensuring its survival later. It is not impossible to do it in other seasons, but it is not very suitable. The hot climate in summer can easily breed bacteria and affect the survival rate. If the operation is performed in winter, the surrounding temperature will be too cold, which will inhibit the healing speed.

2. Grafting method

1. Cleft grafting: First, use a knife to smooth the cross section of the rootstock, and then split it vertically. It does not need to be too deep, about 4-5 cm deep will do. Cut a healthy scion, cut the lower end into a wedge shape, then pry open the cut of the rootstock with the back of a knife, insert the scion, cover it with a plastic bag and tie it tightly, this can increase the survival rate.

2. Subcutaneous grafting: First select a location on the rootstock, and choose a smooth and flat side as much as possible. Use a knife to make a cut, then use the blade to gently pry open the bark, insert it inside after peeling, and wrap it tightly on the outside.
